Sensini una donna. No more pain no more sorrow.
Actually quite a lot of pain to come.

Serie A 90's draft
- Thread starter 2mufc0
- Start date
Sounds about right, yeah, that's what you have to bet on when all the generational superstars aren't going to play for you. Then hope others cock up and you survive long enough to get their men and pivot into something else.
I'm not particularly optimistic so will largely look at picking Serie A players that deserve to be in this (and yeah, your man A cocking S may well be one). It's a great homage draft afaic.
Will leave the Ayala discussion for gamethreads though.

Good thing I missed out on Dunga and got Sensini then. Would have been slim pickings after all you feckers.
Go on and ask @The Red Viper mate.Been onto him since round 2.
Aye, I guessed he'd have a small but devoted fan club and that you'd also be part of it
.4th or 5th round sounds about right for Di Livio. Quite an industrious and flexible worker with proven credentials. If you are looking to support a creative luxury GOAT, he's quite a nice fit.
Go on and ask @The Red Viper mate.
Aye. I can attest to this.
Good pick with Sosa, idmanager.
Dunga, Sosa and Sensini was our 3 player shortlist right before the round started and they went all in the same go lmao!
Yep. Think @sincher is being harsh on Di Livio. He was a solid versatile player. Round-4 or Round-5 seems right for him imo!
GP.
Love Di Livio, proper player and remarkably loyal to Fiorentina when things went tits up. I won't have a bad thing said about him.
Aye, the other one being @Joga BonitoAye, I guessed he'd have a small but devoted fan club and that you'd also be part of it
Can’t complain about Dunga tho gives us a great base.
After turn 7 it will be brutal I guess.
Shoots, Dunga and Sensini gone early. I have another 8 names I hope survive until my pick again
I was actually surprised Dunga lasted that long. There's several options in midfield, but few so easy to match up with almost anyone.
We had him pinned down at round 4 along with Ferri, but reckoned that the CB pool would be even slimmer, considering how many teams are lacking CB’s.
Dunga indeed is a great partner for Matthaus and one of the few from that era that provide defensive stability, energy and passing range.
Yeah I almost went with Dunga instead of Minotti but came to the same conclusion about the CB pool being slimmer. Of course it could backfire on me as everyone picks midfielders now
He is, but you now reminded me why I thought he was in the bag. You can pick tonnes of players next to Matthäus so thought you would look elsewhere.
Nothing wrong with that, mind (your midfield is final ready), but it's a bit greedy. He would have been very handy for anyone starting a midfield pair (like me
) in that you can pick any type of midfielder next to him.That's why someone like Albertini takes longer: he makes your next midfield choice a lot more specific. It's what Gio has been doing masterfully as well: Baresi? Anyone. Weah? Could get a striker or supporting forward. Deschamps? Anyone. As opposed to, say, getting Paulo Sousa first as he would then narrow down partners to a handful really.

True.
But we need a good defensive minded midfielder/holding midfielder alongside Matthaus to give him the license to make greats runs into the box, join the attack and be in and around the penalty box to latch on to second balls etc.
Matthaus was complete as feck but he was at his peak when he had kinda, a free role in midfield. Dunga frees him up to do what he does the best. We decided there's no point picking Matthaus if we don't put him in a role to thrive. With Dunga, he will.
A draft with so few quality number 10s doesn't need a DM alongside Matthaus unless you are going for a diamond. You have been Sherlocked
Agree. As I said, final-ready midfield IMO.
Leave it for gamethreads but I think you have the wrong idea of Dunga. Mauro Silva was the sort of DM you describe for Brazil.A draft with so few quality number 10s doesn't need a DM alongside Matthaus unless you are going for a diamond. You have been Sherlocked
I was primarily talking about the need for a defensive minded MF alongside Matthaus and not Dunga specifically.
[Insert some insights], but yeah lets leave it to match day threads.
In that case I fully endorse Tuppet’s faffing about/hectic lifestyle if it means you go crazy and don’t pick one of my four next choices.
If he faffs about much more, I'd be asleep and wake up to make a proper pick whilst making you wait.
Stop being a lightweight and move on to the vodka Red Bulls; that should keep you up for a bit. Or just do a few lines of speed. Or both... your choice.If he faffs about much more, I'd be asleep and wake up to make a proper pick whilst making you wait.

@Oaencha
Originally with those big fat ball ice, now we've run out, so neat
A little water is acceptable for some, mizuwari...Who mixes single malt?
Bit of a waste that, indeed.
nah, water is perfectly fine, I meant coke/orange juice and the likes.
Who mixes single malt?
I've seen hundred dollar bottles of wine mixed with orange juice....so there are lots who love ruining a good whiskey.
I had my first beer with orange cola a decade ago. Still ashamed to this day.
